This is one of those things that just doesn't make sense, I agree.

EVERYONE loved this horse. YET she still pays 3:1.

Now, THAT's VALUE!!!

Locks are paying $8.80 and people are bitching about the takeout being too high.

Go figure.

One of the benefits of understanding synthetic track races are best ignored when horses run on dirt.

My post was tongue-in-cheek and directed at the many redboarders.
I thought the horse was a stickout. The poly effort only served to greatly solidify my opinion. Needless to say, just throwing the race out was not my method.

In reading people's selections, I don't see all that many people loving her. Now, after she romps, everyone's wondering how she was that price.

It was a wide open race. She just ran 3rd in her last race. She was going against the highly regarded (and probably overhyped) Country Star, Little Belle, BSharp, and Pure Clan.

Now...why wouldn't she go off at 3-1 or higher?? That is a good looking field to me.

Yeah yeah I'm just saying it doesn't matter how much money you have on it just as long as you have the winner.

Only hoping I got the winner. I've got her to about 7 or 8 of them. Who do you like tomorrow? Who do you have running on the undercard?
